Disabling ALT-TAB switching with screen saver?
The SystemParameterInfo API Call can disable the CTRL ALT DEL and
ALT+TAB sequence. This is achieved by setting the mode as Screen Saver
on form load.
Public Declare Function SystemParametersInfo& Lib "user32" Alias _
"SystemParametersInfoA" (ByVal uAction As Long, ByVal uParam As Long,
lpvParam _
As Any, ByVal fuWinIni As Long)
'-- Turn ON ScreenSaver mode.
lRet = SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING, True, lpvParam,
0)
'-- Turn OFF ScreenSaver mode.
lRet = SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING, False, lpvParam,
0)
This should do the trick.
